You do realize lot of out of towners?pjhawks said:the parts I saw the NY fans really came across as total d-bags. classy yelling out 'choke' to Koepka.
But yes Northeasterners are assholes are a look at me asshole bunch
and they are going to have the Ryder Cup there. that will get ugly.0 -
I’m not defending NYers
i just see the pot calling the kettle black on steriods
ive lived here all my 38yrs... I get annoyed with locals, everyone thinks they are a star cause they make a few bucks and everyone knows a mobster out here, but I’ve also been to Boston, Philly... that’s why I originally said northeasteners0 -
yea the US Open was at Merion in the Philly Suburbs in 2013 and no one acted like that.CROJAM95 said:

I get expecting acting like that at Giants or Rangers game. not in golf. and as i said above it didn't happen that way for golf in Philly area.CROJAM95 said:I’m not defending NYers

i can't imagine how horrible and nationalistic it is going to be for the Ryder Cup.
Buy hey here in Philly we threw snowballs at Santa Claus before most of our current fans were even born but we are horrible people because of it.0 -
Im from Farmingdale, the town that holds 75% of Bethpage State Park.....I live 20 minutes North of there as of 2 years ago
I just found it funny someone from Philly would bring that up, and single out NYers, like your immune.
little ignorant statement? If you polled people whose fans/people are the nastiest.....we all know who would win.
I highly doubt no one crossed any lines in Merion, How could you even verify....you can talk about this weekend cause its fresh in our minds....Im sure there were some wing bowl folks at Merion

I thought Merion was well behaved, but I heard some racist stuff about Tiger a couple times. Not yelling but just being said in a manner that people have no business saying things like that.
Ryder cup is going to be a disaster.0 -
the dumbest stuff I heard was MRS GRETZKY and Paulina related things
it was dumb....and some slob yelling at all on the 16th green that BETHPAGE DOESNT FUCKINNNN BREAKKKK
He was right, but keep it to yourself......Its definatly a Norheast thing.....but overserving people anywhere brings out the inner asshole

Well lots of people online are bringing it up online including some of the participants themselves. Read Varner's comments about how they treated Koepka yesterday. so don't think i'm out of line for bringing it up here. Secondly I never defend Philly fans when they act like d-bags. No one should defend that type of behavior just because it is your area.CROJAM95 said:

So two people know more about him than Haney? lolCliffy6745 said:
I just don't get why the day after a dude wins his 4th major in the last 8 tries, there is talk about his physique. Granted, the tournament was about as compelling as paint drying, but that's what happens when a dude goes 63-65 on a brutal course. I am not Koepka's biggest fan. I think the has the personality of my desk, but it works for him and who cares how long he plays. I have asked this question before and I wonder if yesterday changes it. Would you rather have DJ or Koepka's career to date? I think I take the latter after yesterday?The Juggler said:
Yeah, well, we're not talking about people who are just strong and in shape. There is nothing wrong with concentrating on strength and flexibility. We're talking, specifically, about a guy like Brooks' bulkier body type (at least that is the impression I got from Eddie saying he's built like a linebacker). And I specifically said I would not put Rory in Brooks' category anyway...Cliffy6745 said:The most dominate golfer of all time concentrates on strength/flexibility
Rory, who while under achieving, has one of the better A games out there, concentrates on strength/flexibility
The guy who who 4 out of the last 8 majors, concentrates....
These guys are just athletes. Why not be stronger than everyone else?
Also, I don't think people are going to care nearly as much about longevity as they once did with the money out there. Dominate for 10 years, make tens of millions on winnings, and untold more on sponsorship's and go do your thing. The Champion's Tour is going to be in rough shape when people don't need to play it to feed their families/pay alimony
Who gives a shit what Hank Haney has to say...
I guess I agree with your second point....but longevity was the whole point of Eddie's initial post.
And regarding Tiger, Hank knows his game better than just about anyone in the world. So I definitely care what he has to say about that subject.
Does he though? Haney is a whore and has made more money off the celebrity of "coaching" the best player in the world (who probably didn't even need a coach) than he has off of anything else. If I were listing the people who know Tigers game the most it goes.

I heard Koepka say “ it felt like a real sporting event”
im sure it’s annoying to them, and he was giving a safe answer, but he’s doing pretty good up here... Shinnecock last year
It did feel like a music festival atmosphere, I’ve been to 2 US Opens, this PGA and a few other events.... this had the youngest crowd I’ve seen.
Lotta weed vaping and drinking $15 beers0 -

^I had a great time.....It felt like a Happy Gilmore Crowd for sure......like a rock event
I blame it on John Daly's cigarette smoking, McDonalds eating vibe JK......Oh yea we also have an obnoxious President, social media......strap in everyone, only gonna get worse
People just say shit these days, no filter

haha, it's only getting worse, especially the social media and people just wanting to hear or have a video of themself doing something stupid. I have had a great time at tournaments long these lines too. Phoenix, President's cup to a lesser extent. I just don't know if that's a good thing for the game. I don't think it is. Golf is so unlike any other sport where you are within touching distance of these guys at times.CROJAM95 said:^I had a great time.....It felt like a Happy Gilmore Crowd for sure......like a rock event

I don't really begrudge anyone for making money. That's fine, but he's more of a celebrity, TV, book coach, club sponsor than anything else at this point. I think he's a clown.
Butch's swing was the best swing. Haney sucks.0 -

I am also of the opinion, in general, that Tiger never needed a coach/instructor, so I think they are all extremely overrated, but I think Butch Tiger was a better swing0 -
I repeat, Hank Haney sucks.0
